New at Crystal Cruises — unique discounting; Norwegian Breakaway featured Sunday on TV

Edie Bornstein is new to the job at Crystal Cruises. However, her sales and marketing background shows in the following offerings from Crystal. Clearly these cruises need a little bump and Edie and her team have come up with some unique discounting in the area of air, solo cruising and families.

It’s wordy but worthwhile to take a look at some of these offerings.

They’re easily layered so you can see which discount applies to which cruises. If you find something that interests you, contact a good cruise travel agent or Crystal directly. By the way, all these are for 2014.

Now here are the cruises that are affected by some of these discounts:

Enabling junior cruisers (age 17 and under) to sail for free when sharing a third-berth accommodation with two adults.
